3Benefits of the TERASIL® TC range

Compatible dyes combination and uniform exhaustionThe similar shade on the fabric from the beginning to the end of the dyeing procedure ensures excellent leveling properties,

shade reproducibility and reliability. Coupled with the highest degree of exhaustion, TERASIL® TC dyes are the choice for

Operational and Economic excellence.

Benefits of the TERASIL® TC range4

Stability to reduction

The cutting-edge technology in TERASIL® TC shows almost NO sensitivity to reduction during dyeing process.

Sensitivity to reduction of disperse dyes is the main cause of poor reproducibility. The main causes for reduction of

disperse dyes are:

• Fully flooded dyeing machines (in absence of air)

• Polyester blended fabrics may carry reductive chemicals in dyebath, like wool, viscose, greige cotton

• Economical dispersing agents (sulphonated lignin) have a reduction effect

Versatile penetration accelerant with excellent deaerating, wetting and durable antifoam properties for

dyeing and pretreatment applications on natural and synthetic fibers. APEO-and solvent free. Nonionic.

ALBAFLUID® E3-DLM

lubricant

An excellent dye bath lubricant for wet finishing of any fiber at all stages, ALBAFLUID® E3-DLM is

particularly useful for fiber processing under difficult conditions including on short liquors, heavily loaded

jets and in delicate goods processing.

ALBATEX® AB-45

acid buffer

No pH setting needed. Excellent buffer capacity and therefore high reproducibility with pH sensitive

disperse dyes is assured. Anionic.

ALBATEX® RI

reduction inhibitor

ALBATEX® RI is a highly effective, halogen-free reduction inhibitor for dyeing of polyester fibers and their

blends with, e.g. cellulose or viscose rayon. It protects disperse dyes from yield loss during HT exhaust

dyeing processes.

ALBATEX® E3-DCC

protective colloid

An outstanding sequestering agent for reactive dyeing on cellulosic fiber and their blends, ALBATEX®

E3-DCC is equally effective as a protective colloid for the dyeing of greige stage cotton and polyester/

cotton blends. ALBATEX® E3-DCC is also a dyebath conditioner for cotton and a dye protectant for the

dyeing and finishing of polyester fabrics.

ERIOPON® E3-SOP

afterclearing agent

An excellent after-clearing agent for dyed and printed polyester goods produced with disperse dyes,

for polyester/cellulose blends with disperse/reactive dyes, for acetate and for polyester blends with

elastane and wool, ERIOPON® E3-SOP is an outstanding product for continuous washing off and

soaping for dyeing on open width washing machines, vat dye prints on all cellulosic goods and vat/

disperse dyes on polyester / cotton blends.

UNIVADINE® E3-DAP

diffusion accelerant

A diffusion accelerant for HT dyeing of polyester fibres and microfiber blends at all stages in jets

processing and circulating liquor machines, UNIVADINE® E3-DAP is excellent for dyeing polyester fibres

in tightly wound or high-density package.

UNIVADINE® TOP

leveling and dispersing agent

Excellent leveling and dispersing effects. Good stability to electrolytes, preventing dye agglomeration.

Good rubbing fastness. No dye retention. Reduces staining of cellulosic fabric. Anionic.
